The outdoor rooftop terrace encompasses a bar with framing views of the glittering Petronas Twin Towers. At the restaurant, Chef Andrea Zanella serves dishes such as fettuccine with roasted veal and squid ink taglierini, both of which reflect his north-eastern Italian roots.

Tucked away on a quiet street, Albion marries British cuisine with cosmopolitan flavours. It is instantly recognisable by its red signage in front of the two-storey building. Moody lighting complements the minimalist interior of dark woods and crimson cushions.

The upscale Ril's Steakhouse is just streets away from the touristy Petaling Street market. Expect the finest cuts of beef, sautéed in butter and roast garlic jus, along with spicy grapefruit margaritas and cool, crisp Negronis.

Tate's subdued lighting, comfy leather chairs and suit of armour prop, are masculine in personality. The drinks list is in a similar vein, featuring old-school tipples such as Hendricks, served on the rocks.

Pinchos, an intimate dining spot popular with the city's Spanish expatriates and clued-in locals, has a friendly vibe. It offers delicious tapas such as grilled Iberico pork and spare ribs and hearty paella, as well as potent red and white sangrias.

Frangipani has culinary roots in classic French technique, but its menu embraces a contemporary style. It is one of the most striking restaurants in town with its cream-coloured chairs and ornate stainless-steel wall panelling and its bar has been renovated with a chic design. Upstairs, the resident DJ spins house tracks that filter through to the outdoor deck area.

Housed in the slick Sir Norman Foster-designed Troika development, ACME Bar &amp; Coffee is Kuala Lumpur's latest spot in which to be seen. The menu is a hybrid of Asian and international dishes such as smoked duck curry and Moroccan lamb stew.

Situated at the top of a peaceful hill, this Thai-Burmese restaurant evokes a resort ambience. Inside the thatched roof space, Indochinese objects d'art lend authenticity along with dishes such as tom yam river lobster and lamb massaman curry.
